In Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Strength has only one skill tied to it: Athletics. Meanwhile, monsters and divine beings can get all the way up to 30.
Next, a score of 18 is the highest that a person usually reaches and adventurers can get as high as 20. Of course, monsters and adventurers are a cut above average. tells us that a score of 10 or 11 is the normal human average for any given ability.
But what does each point of Strength mean? Dragons have it, the tarrasque has it, even Horned Devils have it.
When you’re up in the CR 20+ range, Strength 20+ isn’t too uncommon. Recently, I was putting together a few higher level monsters and I had to select Strength for one of my beasties. DM Dave 1 Comment on Monster Abilities Part 1 – Strength Posted in Articles
